I finally got to shoot my new-to-me 45 Colt Vaquero. I brought Federal 225 grain JSP loads, some Winchester 225 grain Silvertips, and the new Winchester 225 grain PDX1 loads. The recoil of all the loads is identical. If you loaded the chambers randomly I could never tell which was which. As far as accuracy, I am shocked! I always like my 5 1/2" barrel 357 Magnum Vaquero but this 4 5/8" 45 colt is a damn tack driver!

Below are the first six rounds of the PDX1 load at 12 yards after some practice with the Federal load. Why 12 yards you ask? Its because I couldn't get the target to stop at ten. It kept going past that.
